Katy Brennan Customer Review
We have just booked a cruise to Alaska with Katy who was fantastic. This is the second time we have booked a cruise through her and she is very knowledgeable and helpful. Katy is always efficient and keeps in touch throughout the whole process with any up to date information until we join the ship so we have no worries about forgetting anything. Thank you!
Jill Hurst Customer Review
My contact with Panache Cruises is Jill Hurst and I am finding her more than helpful as well as friendly and knowledgeable with handling my business. This is our 3rd Silversea cruise and another one coming up in 2026, Panache have previously looked after us and we have no worries that their service will continue. I am a great believer in ‘People’!, without good people life can get so frustrating, this is not the case with Jill. Well done to you and the Panache team.
Jack Busby Customer Review
I contacted Panache Cruises as I had been trying to source a small Greek Islands cruise ship which had cabins with balconies. Whilst my own research had thrown up one potential company, I wanted to be sure there were no others out there that may have offered similar or even better options. Also, having seen the reviews of Panache Cruises, I felt more confident of arranging any booking through them, particularly as I wanted to book additional pre-cruise accommodation. My contact Jack Busby was exceedingly helpful and then promptly sorted out the option that best suited my and my sister’s requirements and subsequently confirmed the reservation.
Monaco Grand Prix
BESPOKE PANACHE CRUISES PACKAGE GRAND PRIX TICKETS INCLUDED
ONE-NIGHT BARCELONA HOTEL STAY INCLUDED

Our top pick for May 2025
Combine the romance of a small-ship luxury cruise with the high-octane thrill of Monaco’s Grand Prix and this is what you get. Sail the Mediterranean region along the sun-kissed Italian, French and Spanish Rivieras before docking in Nice and heading to Monte Carlo. The mega-yachts in the harbour, the scenery, the noise and the sheer audacity of F1 cars worth millions of pounds each, winding their way through the narrow streets, is a feast for the senses.
One-night hotel stay in Barcelona, Spain
Spend two days and one night exploring Barcelona at your leisure. Take a day to visit Barcelona’s greatest attractions, including Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia and the magical Parque Guell. We’d recommend the cable car up Montjuic for unbeatable romance and incredible views of the port.
Marseille, France
St. Tropez, France
Despite its reputation for luxury, Saint Tropez has managed to retain its Provençal charm and authenticity. Traditional markets offer a taste of the local produce such as olive oil, wines, and the famous Tarte Tropezienne. Stay late in port before sailing to the Grand Prix.
Nice, France
Excursion to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix
“We had had a wonderful time and were delighted to find that despite our hiatus away from Azamara we had enjoyed it as much as we had on our previous cruises. We love the size and design of these little ships, the wonderful signature events that they put on and of course the fabulous crew. Azamara, to our delight, remains one of our favourite cruise lines, offering in our opinion one of the best premium cruise experiences you can get!”
Visit With Us at the Monaco Grand Prix
Day 6 & 7
Monte Carlo blends towering high-rise buildings with narrow, winding streets. It’s home to the famous Monte-Carlo Casino, luxury hotels, stylish nightclubs and the iconic Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Monaco’s natural amphitheatre amplifies every sound—you’ll feel closer to the action than ever before. Tickets are included in your fare.

JANUARY 2026
Thailand, Vietnam and Southeast Asia
Oceania Cruises | Regatta | 19 Nights | 22 January 2026
Our top pick for January 2026
You must visit Southeast Asia at least once in your life. In January, the weather is dry, much less humid and temperatures are comfortable. The natural beauty is outstanding, from the limestone spires of Ha Long Bay to the beautiful island beaches of Thailand. The culture is special—so diverse from city to city and town to town. The street food, sacred sites, and rich history—this is a truly special cruise. Having 19 days to explore this region is truly a trip to remember.
Two-night hotel stay in Singapore
Arrive in Singapore after an overnight flight. Spend two nights in Singapore—the perfect place for a pre-cruise stay. Marina Bay Sands’ iconic rooftop pool, the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay, Michelin-starred hawker centres… even the airport is a tourist attraction! The world is yours—sip a Singapore Sling as you watch it go by.
Koh Samui, Thailand
Drop anchor in paradise after a leisurely day at sea, enjoying Oceania Cruises’ onboard delights. Enjoy gorgeous beaches, incredible temples and majestic waterfalls.
Bangkok, Thailand
Spend a night in-port in Thailand’s bustling capital city Bangkok, famous for it’s irrepressible nightlife.
Sihanoukville, Cambodia
“Eat in a hawker centre, Chinatown, or Little India – Singapore is well known for the fantastic food on offer and you will have plenty of options to choose from! Traditional hawker centres offer an abundance of street food while Chinatown showcases Chinese classics and Little India is home to some of the best curry houses in Southeast Asia. My personal recommendation is Zam Zam opposite the Sultan Mosque – the chicken murtabak is the signature dish and not to be missed!”
Olivia Edwards, Content Manager, on what to do in Singapore

We picked this cruise because it’s on our own bucket list. Cherry blossom season in Japan is truly a sight to behold. Soft petals of sakura—blush pink and snow white—float gently on the spring breeze, like delicate confetti scattered by invisible hands. Parks, riversides and temple grounds transform into ephemeral realms of beauty, where ancient trees bloom in unison, their branches heavy with fragile flowers. To go there in ultra-luxury with Silversea is a dream come true.

Alaska is the cruise industry’s worst-kept secret. Its awe-inspiring fjords, ancient glaciers shimmering in otherworldly hues and a symphony of wildlife create a tapestry of adventure that beckons travelers from across the globe. For those seeking the ultimate journey through this untamed frontier, one cruise line rises above the rest. For 75 remarkable years, Holland America Line has perfected the art of exploring Alaska, crafting itineraries that immerse you in the heart of this majestic wilderness.
Picture yourself gliding silently into Glacier Bay National Park, an area where towering glaciers carve their stories into the earth and wildlife thrives in pristine isolation. From the veranda of your ship, spot breaching whales, soaring eagles, and playful seals as you revel in the uncrowded, unhurried elegance of Holland America Line. And for those craving the fullest experience, pair your voyage with a land tour to uncover the rugged splendor of the Yukon—a land of golden histories and untouched beauty. If Alaska is on your list, you need to consider Holland America.
There are a few ways in which to make your Holland America experience more luxurious. You can stay in Club Orange, the line’s “ship within a ship” concept, and enjoy the sumptuous top suite of your ship. Enjoy priority check-in and disembarkation, savour exclusive dining experiences, indulge in a complimentary stateroom upgrade and cherish moments curated just for you, including a special event chosen by the ship’s captain. Alternatively, you can upgrade to a Have It All fare with select shore excursions, a Signature Beverage Package, speciality dining, WiFi and more for an additional cost.
